so he's getting hit for that right now.ib what would mitt romney's fema look like? would it be as well funded as the current organization? there's about $7 billion in the bank right now. if mitt romney and republicans were in control in congress there a question as to how they would handle disaster relief. generally speaking they've not wanted to spend as much money on that. certainly when they do spend money on disaster relief they want to offset it usually meaning cut back on other q services that the government provides in order to pay for it. democrats tend to want to tax a little more for that or add to the deficit because ofhe emergency. >> ifill: chris christie as the governor of new jersey who the president will be traveling with tomorrow looking at hurricane damage, you can only assume that that will be many levels interpretation of that particular meeting. he said he would likehe to reschedule halloween but it's not possible to reschedule an election, is it? >> it is technically possible to reschedule elections on ae state-by-state basis but i don't think

he knows that fema is a powerhouse under president obama. he knows that only fema has the money and the expertise needed to rebuild after hurricane sandy. he knows new jersey needs a lot of help and he knows where he can get it. from president obama and not from mitt romney. president obama believes in using the power of the federal government to help the states. mitt romney would leave the states on their own to fend for themselves. but you know what i think chris christie knows something else, too. i think he realizes that mitt romney is going nowhere in 2012 and so chris christie has his eyes on 2016 and his own run for president. he's making all of the right moves. have a great one folks. see you right back here again tomorrow.

so far i think fema has done well. the real issue with that -- within the future, though -- this is not just a one-day, two-day, one-week response. fema will have to be on the job for a long time. the question is whether it has the resources and the ability necessary to make sure it's doing its job. >> brian, if there's one take-away from this article, from this feature, what would it be? what's important to learn from this superstorm? >> i think we need to deal with climate change. that's incredibly important. it did play a role in this disaster. certainly a major storm. you need to do that. >> all right. >> also how can we build a city that's more resilient so we don't have to worry about this in the future. >> all right. brian, thank you very much. appreciate it. if you want to continue to watch cnn from your smartphone or computer, log to cnn.com. cnn newsroom continues right after this. to help those in nee. when a twinge of back pain surprises him. morning starts in high spirits, but there's a growing pain in his
